Description

1 2747725

  The invention relates to a hinge fitting, in particular an angle support for a door, window or the like, comprising a fixed support attached to the frame and on which is mounted an axis intended to be engaged in a socket fitted to a housing. mobile support fixed on the opening of said door, window or the like. The present invention will find application in the field of building hardware and concerns, in particular,

  hinge fittings for door, window or the like.

  In fact, a number of fittings are already known

  articulation as described above and ensuring the

  pivotal connection of a door leaf, window or the like, on

  a sleeping frame. Respond more closely to this description, the

  corner supports, which ensure, therefore, the lower connection to the frame of a pivoting opening, in particular around a vertical axis. It is observed, in this connection, that such an angle support can still have the function of allowing the tilting of this opening around a horizontal axis materialized substantially by its lower cross member, this in the context of a door or window

tilt-and-turn type.

  Thus, such an angle support comprises a fixed support made integral with the frame and which, therefore, can borrow different embodiments, for example depending on the materials, PVC, aluminum or wood, constituting said door, window or the like . On this fixed support is mounted an axis, this via appropriate connecting means. In this connection, in the context of a tilt-and-turn opening, these means of connection are

  present, in fact, in the form of ball joint means.

  The axis is then provided, at its lower end, a spherical head which is housed in a ball joint which is part of the fixed support. Finally, if the socket, corresponding to the movable support secured to the opening, is able to pivot about the axis, the tilting is linked to this assembly, using

  a ball joint, said axis on its fixed support.

  Very frequently, this type of hinge fitting also comprises a number of adjustment means allowing

2 2747725

  to adjust the positioning of the opening relative to its sleeping frame. Thus, some of these adjustment means act in the plane of the door, window or the like, and / or in a perpendicular direction whose function, in the latter case, to modify the compressive force of the opening against the frame

  sleeping when closing the door, window or the like.

  Thus, it is known to perform this adjustment of the compression of the seal by acting on the fastening means of the

  mobile support secured to the opening.

  Furthermore, it is known, at present, different embodiments of the adjustment means for obtaining the tilting of the opening to the left or right in the plane of the frame. These can, for example, act on the connection of the axis with the fixed support of the frame. It is obvious that this makes

  more complex the construction of this fixed support.

  Moreover, it should be observed that it is difficult to envisage intervening simultaneously on these different adjustment means, some of which act perpendicularly and others

  parallel to the plan of the sleeping frame.

  Also, the fitter must act by trial and error, successively, once on one side then on the other, which makes the operation

  particularly delicate and restrictive.

  The objective of the present invention is, ultimately, to facilitate this adjustment of the positioning of an opening relative to its dormant frame, offering, of course, the ability to act in compression and in a direction parallel to the plane of the door, window or the like, this while simplifying the design

of the corner support.

  To this end, the invention relates to a hinge fitting, in particular an angle support for a door, window or the like, comprising a fixed support attached to the frame and on which is mounted an axis intended to be engaged in a socket equipping a mobile support fixed on the opening of said door, window or the like, characterized in that the axis is pivotally mounted by means of an eccentric on the fixed support and comprises

3 2747725

  gripping means for its rotation control to adjust the position of the opening relative to the fixed frame according to a

  direction perpendicular and / or parallel to the latter.

  According to another characteristic of the invention, the bore of said bushing fitted to the mobile support is jacketed by means of a sleeve comprising an eccentric bore for the reception of the axis.

fixed support.

  According to an advantageous embodiment, said sleeve comprises gripping means to allow its control in rotation,

  including using an appropriate tool.

  The advantages deriving from the present invention consist, essentially, in that the angle support, while offering the user the possibility of adjusting the opening, both in compression and in the plane of the fixed frame, proves to be a particularly simplified design. In addition, it will be observed that the user can act, if necessary, simultaneously on the gripping means of the sleeve and those of the axis by means of two different tools. Advantageously, the invention provides an easy adjustment,

  fast and continuous 1 'opening relative to the frame.

  Other objects and advantages of the present invention

  It is shown in Figure 1 a window 1 which could also be a door, French window or the like, including

  the opening 2 is mounted, in particular, pivoting on a fixed frame 3.

  The present invention relates, more particularly, to a hinge fitting 4, in particular the corner support of such a window 1 or the like, providing the low hinged connection of the opening 2 intended to pivot, in this case around an axe

vertical, on the frame 3.

2747725

  In this connection, it is more particularly described below

  corner support for door or tilt-and-turn window.

  It is clear that the present invention is not limited to this application of the hinge fitting, according to the invention, as a corner support. In fact, this articulation fitting 4 which is represented in FIGS. 2 to 5 according to a first embodiment and 6 to 11 according to another embodiment, comprises a fixed support 5 which is provided with fastening means 6 intended to to ensure its connection to the fixed frame 3. On this fixed support 5 is made integral with an axis 7 which materializes, ultimately, the axis of

  pivoting of the opening 2 relative to the frame 3.

  According to the invention, this axis 7 is pivotally mounted with the aid of an eccentric 8 on this fixed support 5, knowing, in this connection, that, according to the embodiment shown in the figures, the connection itself between this axis 7 and this fixed support 5 is obtained by means of articulation means 9 in the form of a ball joint allowing, in addition, the tilting of the opening 2 relative to the frame 3 around an axis perpendicular to

axis 7.

  Thus, such hinge means 9 in the form of a ball joint, are defined by a spherical head 10 formed at the lower end 11 of the axis 7 and intended to be inserted into a ball cage 12 secured to the fixed support 5 and having a dwelling

hemispherical 13.

  Note that, in the present case, the eccentric 8 to which reference has been made above is precisely defined by these hinge means 9 in the form of a ball joint, more particularly by the spherical head 10 which is eccentric by

compared to axis 7.

  In addition, according to another characteristic of the invention, the axis 7 comprises gripping means 14 allowing its rotation control to adjust the position of the opening 2 relative to the frame 3 in a perpendicular direction and / or

parallel to the latter.

6 2747725

  As shown in Figures 2 to 5, these gripping means 14 may be in the form of a slot for receiving a screwdriver or in the form of a hexagonal hole 14A for the reception of a suitable key, provided at the free end 7A of this axis 7. According to another embodiment shown in FIGS. 6 to 11, these gripping means 14 may take the form of a ring 14B surmounting the spherical head 10 and allowing the grip by means of a tool, more particularly a wrench, to control the pivoting of the axis 7 around

  an eccentric axis passing through the center of the spherical head 10.

  In the end since this axis 7 is engaged in a socket 16 equipping a mobile support 17 completing the hinge fitting 4 and which is attached by means of appropriate fastening means 18, on the opening 2, l it is understood that by acting on said gripping means 14 to pivot the eccentric axis 7, it is modified, gradually and continuously, the pressure according to which the opening 2 is applied against the frame 3 when closing the window 1, as well as adjusting the position of the opening 2 relative to this frame 3

  following a direction parallel to the plane of the latter.

  In this regard, it may be advantageous that one can intervene on one opening 2 in one and the other direction

  parallel and perpendicular to the plane of the frame 3.

  For this purpose, it advantageously has a sleeve 20 lining, internally, the sleeve 16 and having a bore 21 of eccentric axis 22 for the reception of the axis 7 of the fixed support 5. Thus, the bore 21 has a fitted diameter 23

to the section of this axis 7.

  Advantageously, this sleeve 20 is, again, equipped with gripping means 24 allowing its control in rotation from o derives, finally, a change in the position of the opening 2 relative to the frame 3, both in one direction

  perpendicular than parallel to the plane of the latter.

  Thus, by pivoting the sleeve 20, it is possible, as the case may be, to compensate for one and / or the actions that the pivoting of

7 2747725

  the axis 7 on the opening 2. For example one can thus compensate for an unwanted movement of the opening 2 in the plane of the frame 3 when looking, when controlling the rotation of the axis 7, to change, simply, the pressure with which this opening 2 is applied against the frame 3 at the time of closing

the door, window or the like.

  Moreover, and as can be seen in FIGS. 7, 9 and 11, if this rotation control of the sleeve 20 makes it possible to compensate the action resulting from the pivoting of the axis 7, it can still amplify it, whether following a direction parallel to the plane of the

  dormant 3 or perpendicular to the latter.

  Of course, the amplitude of the possible adjustments is dependent on the eccentric position, on the one hand, of the axis 7 with respect to the spherical head 10 and, on the other hand, of the bore 21 in the sleeve

  20 relative to the axis of the bore of the bushing 16.

  As for the gripping means 24, they can, again, be in the form of a ring defined at one end of the sleeve 20, located outside the sleeve 16, on this ring being able to act the user by means of a tool

adequate, such as a wrench.

  Thus, for example, when the axis 7 itself is provided with a ring 14B as a gripping means 14, the ring corresponding to the sleeve 20 can be arranged at the end 26 of the latter, oriented in the direction of the articulation means 9 so that it comes superimposed on said ring 14B of the axis 7. In the end, in the particular case where the axis 7 is mounted at one of its ends, on the fixed support 5, for example by means of articulation means such as a ball joint, it is conceivable to design the bore 21 in the form of a blind hole formed in the end 26 of the sleeve 20 , while at the opposite end 26A it comprises gripping means 24 in the form of a slot for receiving a screwdriver or a hexagonal hole 25 in which can be engaged a suitable key to control in rotation this sleeve 20. It is obvious, in these

8 2747725

  conditions, that gripping means 14 corresponding to the axis 7 are defined, preferably, by a ring 14B such that

  visible, precisely, in FIGS. 6 to 11.

  In fact, as is apparent from the foregoing description,

  It is possible for the assembler to grasp, simultaneously and by means of two appropriate tools, the axis 7 and the sleeve 20 to adjust, in a single operation, the position of the opening 2 with respect to the

  dormant frame 3, in all directions.

  In addition, it will be noted that if the sleeve 20 can be defined in any material, in particular in synthetic material, it will be observed, however, that the choice of this material may take into account particular considerations such as the coefficient of friction of this sleeve 20 in the bore of the sleeve 16 corresponding to the movable support 17. It is indeed necessary to provide means for immobilizing in rotation, as appropriate, the sleeve 20 inside the sleeve 16 or, conversely, allow a free rotation between them while immobilizing, to

  using means 27 provided for this purpose, the sleeve 20 on the axis 7.

  In fact, it is this latter solution that is represented in

Figures 6, 8 and 10.

  Thus, as visible, said immobilizing means 27 are in the form of a clamping member 28, such as a screw, passing through a threaded orifice 29 formed in the wall of the sleeve 20 so as to cooperate with the axis 7 engaged in 1 'bore 21 of this sleeve 20. According to a preferred embodiment, it has at its end 26 through which is introduced this axis 7, an annular rim 30 defining a shoulder 31 bearing on the end edge of the sleeve 16. In this flange 30 is provided said threaded orifice 29 for receiving the clamping member 28, so that it is at all

  moment, accessible to the fitter to make the desired adjustment.

  In view of the foregoing description, one understands, of course,

  that the present invention makes it possible to respond advantageously to the problem posed to the extent that it allows a design

9 2747725

  simplified the hinge fitting 4 while facilitating, moreover, the adjustment of the opening 2 relative to the fixed frame 3. Although the invention has been described with respect to a particular embodiment, it is well understood that it is by no means limited and that various modifications of forms, materials and combinations of these various elements can be made,

  without departing from the framework and spirit of the invention.
